And, for the record, those qualities have not been displayed by Wilson.

I like Smith, not because of the video game numbers he's posted, but because he plays smart, he plays tough, is clearly in charge on the field, and all indications are that he is solely dedicated to his craft.

I've said before you can win a title with Barkley. He's really got the shit beat out of him at times this year but he's still accurate with the ball and he's proven doubters wrong about his arm strength.

The only thing that i'm not sure about with Barkley is his decision making. He's made some piss poor decisions this year with the ball including last week where he threw a ball that should have been a red zone INT.

The huge difference between Wilson and a guy like Barkley is leadership. Wilson isn't a leader.

Wilson doesn't really have much to work with this season. After losing Adams and Wright his only real receiving option is hamilton and his TE Gragg who has been out the past 2 weeks. He also has one of the worst OLs in CFB. So i can see how he wouldn't be as good as last year...but he still makes throws that not many other QBs can make. Today against auburn he played well but we had 2 rushing TDs and scored on a trick play so he didn't have any TDs. Also doesn't help that we havent had much of a rushing game to take pressure off of him.

I really don't know why people question his leadership based on his comments from the alabama game. Was he supposed to sugarcoat it? The team did give up...they lost 52-0 lol. During the summer and the petrino mess he was the main guy the team rallied around and was a great leader.

The A&M game was the worst game i've seen him play though...hopefully it was just a fluke
